=Communication theories=

As usual all communication theories have a common object. They revolve around the term the message that is supposed to be conveyed by the sender through the information that he is stating. On the other hand they deal with the way how the adressee is receiving the information, that means how he understands the message. The common communication theory assumes 4 aspects of information. That means that every kind of information can have 4 different meanings or massages.

1. The first aspect is the aspect of matter or the "aspect of content". This aspect is of impotance when the sender intends to convey certain "facts" to the receiver.

2. The aspect of relationship has the consequence that the sended information contains a message about the relationship of sender to receiver.

3. The aspect of appeal means that the sender intends the convey a special appeal to the receiver, thus the sended information can contain messages that form a special appeal towards the receiver, the best known appeal is the rational appeal.

4. Another aspect of information is the aspect of self-revelation. That means the information convey can indicate or clearly state the attitude of the sender towards the object of information, e.g. a certain problem that has to be discussed.

In order to make communication work it is necesssary that sender and receiver have the same mental modell, that means that they interpret the information in exactly the way it was meant. To want to understand something doesn't mean to understand the meaning of the message.
